Short-term Care Quality

One of the many reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it earned an A+ short-term care grade. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed was long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home an above average grade of B. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.12903 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
